About Andrew
Andrew Medlow is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. He works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship difficulties and motivation problems. He also supports those facing grief, trauma, addiction concerns and anger-related difficulties.
Andrew frames clients as the experts in their own stories and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear talking. He aims for straightforward conversation that helps people notice patterns and try different ways of responding.
His approach draws on several methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. These methods are used to help with unwanted thoughts, difficult emotions, and habits that cause trouble at work or home. Attachment-based ideas also inform how he looks at relationship patterns and communication problems.
Andrew has worked with a range of concerns such as ADHD, bipolar mood issues, compassion fatigue and career stress. He pays attention to family of origin issues, attachment and abandonment themes, and struggles around commitment and control. Practical coping strategies and clearer communication are common goals in his sessions.
People can expect direct yet calm conversation, with an emphasis on small, manageable changes. He asks questions, reflects what he hears, and offers exercises people can try between meetings. The overall aim is to help people handle strong emotions, including anger, with more choice and less automatic reactivity.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches in remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them. It supports clearer values-based action so someone can move toward what matters despite difficult emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication, which can be useful for relationship stress and repeated conflicts. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify which methods suit their goals and preferences. That decision is revisited over time so the plan can change as progress is made or new topics emerge. The profile does not list specific session formats, so check the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Remote sessions also let people use telephone-only meetings when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Ask about format details when you book so practical arrangements match your day-to-day life.Areas of focus
